Ending of Strikes Sought by Officials
Rv UNITED PRESS
Government mediators and officials labored today to end the oil workers and Western Union strikes, and to work out a solution to a three-year-old railroad labor dispute.
With the steel strike halted and mills striving to get back to full production, the chief federal settlement effort was in the oil workers' dispute. The week-old strike of 22 AFL, CIO and independent unions has cut back military use of airplane gasoline at home and in Europe, and reduced the supplies available to domestic airlines and motorists.
The Wage Stabilization board asked that the strike end "immediately" and asked union and management to a Washington meeting Tuesday.
In other labor fields:
Steel: The CIO United Steelworkers' 36-man executive board meet at Philadelphia to hear a report by their president, Philip Murray, on developments in the steel wage controversy.
Railroads: John R. Steelman, acting defense mobilizer, met last night with representatives of the nation's roadroads and three operating brotherhoods, the conductors, firemea and engineers, totaling 150,000 workers.
Newspapers: A Federal mediator sought to arrange another meeting between the Rockford Consolidated Newspapers, Inc., management and leaders of the International Typographical union, whose members went on strike against the Rockford, Ill. Register - Republic and the Rockford Morning Sun March 24.

Sunrise Excelled By Atomic Flash
Las Vegas, Nev.—(U.P.)—An atomic device was detonated at a steel tower before dawn today at the Atomic Energy commission's Yucca Flat proving ground with a flash more brilliant than a desert sunrise.
The nuclear device was fired at 4:15 a.m. CST at the top of a 300-foot steel tower, producing a colorful flash far brighter than any seen during the 16 previous tests at the desolate Nevada desert diring range.
The flash was so brilliant that it awakened sleepers here, 75 miles southwest of the test site, turning a cloudy dawn to daylight for a few seconds.
The shock wave from the blast rolled across the desert to rock this gambling resort.
As seen from here, the blast was 12 times as wide at the base as any previous flash in the Nevade desert and three times as wide as the final night test in the January-February series tests in 1951.
Today's test was the first in predawn darkness since then and the 31st known atomic explosion in history.
Banquet Changed to 6 p.m.
Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business fraternity, will hold its annual banquet at 6 p.m. today at the Castle Tea room, instead of 6:30 p.m. as previously reported. L. Martin Jones, instructor of economics, will be the master of ceremonies and William Sears, graduate student, will speak.
Capacity Audience Attends Symphony Orchestra Concert
Bv ROZANNE ATKINS
Extra chairs had to be set up last night in Strong auditorium to accommodate the large audience that heard the Little Symphony orchestra, directed by Thomas Gorton, in the third concert of the Music week program.
Fernando Valenti, harpsichordist,
in the Bach "Concerto in D minor"
and Reinhold Schmidt, bass-bari-
tone, in Gustav Mahler's "Kinder-
totenlieder" were the featured soloists.
The "Concerto in D minor" by Bach is believed to be a transcription of a concerto for violin that has since been lost. Modelled after violin work, the concerto displays the composer's remarkable ability of transformation.
The "Kindertotenlieder" by Mahler is based on a text by Friedrich Ruckert after the death of his children. Mahler set the text to music of a poignancy that seems to presage the loss, in later years of his own little daughter.
Other selections included two pieces for small orchestra by Frederick Dellius which are miniature tone poems with harmony and tone-color that captures the magic of the English landscape.
Paul Hindemith's "Five Fieces for
String Orchestra" makes extensive use of counterpoint and deliberate simplicity of instrumentation. "Symphony in G major" by Johann Stamitz is a product of the early classical period and represents the birth of a new instrumental style; hence its freshness and directness of expression, light textures, and relative brevity.

Sen. Robert A. Taft clinched all 56 of Ohio's presidential delegates today and pulled ahead of Gen. Dwight E. Dienhower in the overall race for delegates at the Republican national convention.
Taft, Russell Win Primaries
Compiled from United Press
Taft swamped Harold E. Stassen, his only GOP opponent in yesterday's Minnesota primary. The former Minnesota governor had won nine delegates in the 1948 Ohio presidential primary, but he never came close in yesterday's balloting that attracted 1,500,000 voters.
Sen. Kefauver suffered his first defeat in a presidential primary today, losing to Sen. Richard B. Russell in the Florida primary. However, Kefauver apparently prevented Russell from winning the decisive victory which the Georgian's supporters said was needed to win non-southern support at the Democratic national convention.
Sen. Taft's Ohio victory enabled him to regain from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower the lead position in the race for delegates.
The score according to the United Press tabulation:
Taft 330; Eisenhower 291. Necessarv to nominate, 604.
Sen. Kefauver took the lead among Democratic candidates, displacing W. Averell Harriman and gaining a longer lead on Sen. Russell. The score:
Kefauver $ 1 1 1 _ {1 / 2} $; Harriman $ 9 4 _ {1 / 2} $; Russell 40. Necessary to nominate, 616.
